Hi!

I run:

Quote:

emerge --verbose-conflicts --exclude cryfs qtwebkit -auDN @world

and get the output:

Quote:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.212.0_pre20180120 [5.9.1] USE="X%* gstreamer* hyphen%* -nsplugin%"

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

The man emerge says:

Quote:

--exclude ATOMS
A space separated list of package names or slot atoms.

Why did the qtwebkit package remain?

I run:

Quote:

emerge --verbose-conflicts --exclude cryfs --exclude qtwebkit -auDN @world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Nothing to merge; quitting.

everything is correct.

What am I doing wrong in the first example?

You need to put them in apostrophes if you exclude multiple atoms, otherwise the everything after first atom will instead be interpreted as a package you want to merge.
